Framlingham Castle was built in the
12th century. It was built by the Bygods who owned all of Suffolk at the time. Their
son had been awarded half of Norfolk by King Henry II. When his mother and father died he
was very wealthy. Framlingham Castle has two stone bridges, not a wooden one which can be
raised. Experts think Framlingham castle was wooden but it was taken down because they had
decided to build a stronger one made out of stone. It is a very large castle
considering Framlingham is only a town. Framlingham has a very big and deep moat that
means it is very hard to get to get across. It still remains in shape after 800 years.
There is a well in the centre of the castle. It has an iron grill over it.
